How Illizeo helps on the HR dimension

Illizeo is not a consultancy nor a paying body. However, our HR layer manages all family variables for the employee: family composition (dependent children, ages), supporting documents, event declarations (birth, adoption), leave workflow (maternity, paternity, parental) with key date calculation, and automatic transmission to your payroll software.

⚠ Disclaimer. Information is provided for indicative purposes and reflects the situation at publication date (2026). Amounts, ceilings and eligibility conditions evolve frequently. For any operational application, consult official local resources or specialized HR/tax counsel. Illizeo is not a legal or tax advisory firm. [object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
